1. Introduction: This Flood Emergency Response Plan (FERP) has been established
to clearly define actions that should be taken in the event of a pending flood event to our
site. The plan is designed to proactively outline actions to be taken to reduce physical
loss to buildings, machinery and equipment and stock /supplies at this site in order that
we may resume operations as quickly as possible after the flood event is over. This plan
is to be updated in February of each year.
2. Overview of flood threat: The Company Name site is exposed to flooding from
River/Brook located in the ? section of City/Town. The finished floor elevation of the
facility is 00.0 ft. and the basement elevation is 00.0 ft. The Storage Building has a
finished floor elevation of 00.0 ft. The ? Building and the ? Building have similar finished
floor elevations. Only the Main Building is at the higher elevation. The 100-Year and
500-Year flood potential water elevations are 00.0 ft. and 00.0 ft. respectively,
3. Monitoring Potential Flood Event: The Maintenance/Building Manager will advise
the FERP leader when flood conditions are possible. When potential flooding goes
beyond a flood alert stage, the FERP leader will assign personnel the responsibility to
visually monitor the River/Brook elevations each hour and record and report the findings
to the FERP leader. The FERP leader will be responsible for implementing various
components of the FERP based on river elevations.
The Company Name facility and buildings are susceptible to flooding in the event
of an extended period of rain. When a rainfall event of more than 2 inches per hour of
rain for a sustained period of two hours, the FERP leader or designate (Shift Supervisor
